MMACHC

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type C protein (MMACHC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MMACHC gene.[5]

Function

The C-terminal region of the product of the MMACHC gene is similar to TonB, a bacterial protein involved in energy transduction for cobalamin uptake.[5] The MMACHC gene product catalyzes the decyanation of cyanocobalamin as well as the dealkylation of alkylcobalamins including methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.[6] The MMACHC gene product is characterised as a cyanocobalamin reductase (cyanide-eliminating) and a alkylcobalamin reductase.[7] It enables the interconversion of cyano- and alkylcobalamins.[8][9]

Clinical significance

Mutations are associated with combined homocystinuria and methylmalonic acidemia.[5][10][11][12][13]
